Something tells me that the "hard copy" orders will be CD-R with little to brag about. The disclosure of digital files being encoded at 128 is burried on an entirely irrelevant page (not mentioned on home page or the main page for downloading).
After reading Greg's rebuttal (his response below) .... I'll just say "let the buyer beware."
"Thanks for your mail. I'm sorry if there has been any misunderstanding - the recommended download 'Guide' on the site describes our file format as 'Fraunhofer 128kbps'.
Since the inception of this digital store, all downloads have been at 128kbps and most customers prefer the lower file size. As you probably know, the average listener is unable to tell the difference between the various so-called 'quality benchmarks' especially when listening on their phones. I started out with 128 kbps when that was the 'industry standard'. All my MP3 transfers are from the original master 24 bit WAV files whereas many iTunes tracks are from CDs at 16 bit.

I value your opinions and will take them into account when making future updates to the site.
Many thanks,
Greg Hambleton"
